RectangularShape2D Extents don't match the sprite size

AntonB

Hi everyone, I have a KinematicBody2D with a Sprite and CollisionShape (rectangular) attached to it. I'm using Godot Mono 3.0.2 on Linux.

I adjusted the CollisionShape to match the Sprite texture size as precisely as I could (scale is 1,1, I only chaged the Extents). However, the Extents of Collision shape do not match the Texture size. For example, the Texture size is 21x59 pixels, while the Extents size are at 17x40. I understand I have to multiply them by two, by that throws me off even more.

Question is - why does this happen?

Thanks.

Are you using grid snap? Also, when you say extents, I am assuming you are referring to the inner handles on the collision shape and not the outer ones.

At any rate, if you are using grid snap, you can work around this by configuring the snap to half of whatever your texture is set at. In this case it should be something like x10.5 and y24.5. I don't think this is very good practice however, as there should be uniformity among your sprites and collision shapes to ensure that everything works harmoniously.

As to why this happens, I am not really sure. It's generally not a bad idea to try and have your pixel art set to a workable scale prior to putting it into the editor, at least based on my (very) limited experience.

Can you please explain the meaning of "inner handles and not outer ones"?

Taken from the Godot Docs, "Your First Game". When I say inner handles I am referring to the points circled in red in the image below. The outer handles are the points that are not circled in red.
